ACTIVITIES
The Challenge Course at Spring Heights is a series of outdoor, experiential learning activities designed to build interpersonal skills in seven areas:
- Communication
- Decision Making
- Problem Solving
- Teamwork
- Leadership
- Self-Esteem
- Trust
Any or all of these skills can be emphasized as a trained Facilitator leads your adult, youth or family group through a program designed for them. Challenge Course activities and rentals are designed around 2-hour Program Blocks.
Types of Rope/Challenge Programs:
Lows: Our Low course consists of several group problem-solving activities. After each activity, the facilitator leads the group in a debrief to discuss which skills were used, what could have been done differently, and how these skills apply to situations off the course. Our Lows Program can be completed in one Program Block.
Highs: Our High course features a four-sided tower with rock wall, vertical playground, centipede, and dangle duo climbs, as well as several traverses from the tower. Participants learn how to climb and assist the facilitator during belaying. Our Highs Program can be completed in one or two Program Blocks.
Entire Course: The Highs and Lows courses are designed to be completed together, with both individual and team challenges. To complete both the Lows and Highs courses, at least two Program Blocks are required. More time may be necessary depending on the size of the group participating.
Challenge Course Rates:
Lows: $15.00 per person for every 2-hour Program Block
Highs: $25.00 per person for every 2-hour Program Block
